Aug 20th, 2014 - 12:18 am - Link - Report abuse 0Which means this was on the R9 multilane Rosario-Cordoba.
No reason for such an accident to occur under normal circumstances.
quite right.. ! it is under investigation very odd because the driver who crashed against the car felt nothing...
Aug 20th, 2014 - 12:22 am - Link - Report abuse 0A tragedy especially with children involved but I wouldn't be too suspicious.......we all know what driving on the rutas is like.
Aug 20th, 2014 - 12:33 am - Link - Report abuse 0Sad...

Aug 20th, 2014 - 12:58 am - Link - Report abuse 0I think you will find that the rest of the world are thinking about the 8 month old baby, and the 2 year old boy who suffered before he died.
Aug 20th, 2014 - 03:00 am - Link - Report abuse 0To twist that, for your own purposes is disgusting Tobias, truely shocking.
You are one vile piece of vermin that should be eradicated from the face of the earth. You disgust me, do us all a favour, and go play with traffic Toby.
I'm Argentine, I can't help using any advantage I can get.
Aug 20th, 2014 - 03:06 am - Link - Report abuse 0Tragic and violent end for small innocent children.
Aug 20th, 2014 - 03:58 am - Link - Report abuse 0Very sad.
Our sympathies with the Holy Father and his family at this sad time.

Aug 20th, 2014 - 06:40 am - Link - Report abuse 0He is incapable of feeling empathy, or understanding why his remarks are inappropriate.
He is mentally ill.
Please disregard him.
I have personal experience of dealing with fatal RTA's like this.
Aug 20th, 2014 - 06:44 am - Link - Report abuse 0They are always tragic but when children are involved they are especially tragic and heartbreaking.
My sincere condolences to all the family, friends and loved ones of this family and my thoughts are also with the members of the rescue services who were first on scene.
As for the comments of you know who, what do you expect, the boy lives in a world of his own. Its a dark, depraved, horrible place, we shouldn't vilify him but show the same compassion for what is an obvious serious mental illness he is suffering from.

Aug 20th, 2014 - 08:56 am - Link - Report abuse 0I'm certain that even CFK wouldn't twist this tragedy into political gain.
A wife and Mother died, 2 infants died, and the poor fathers life has been turned upside down.
@11 If he really does have a mental illness, then he shouldn't be allowed anywhere near others or a computer for that matter.
TTT has admitted to having mental health issues. I think overwhelmingly we see self-loathing, a massive inferiority complex and him lashing out because of it. Sad because he has potential if he could but overcome his personality problems.
Aug 20th, 2014 - 09:04 am - Link - Report abuse 0This is a very sad story indeed.
I never saw what the troll wrote but it has been blindingly obvious for months that he has severe mental health problems. He should just be ignored and he will in time fade away. Troy is spot on.. Do not feed the troll.
Aug 20th, 2014 - 01:42 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Yeah it is getting harder to ignore his obvious mental health issues or the fact that being on Mercopress seems to exacerbate them.
Aug 20th, 2014 - 01:51 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I find it difficult, if not outright impossible, to feel sympathy for practicing sociopaths. ;)

Aug 20th, 2014 - 03:04 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@2. “the driver who crashed against the car felt nothing...” I was under the impression that the car hit the truck. And that the truck driver felt the impact. In order to smash a vehicle into the back of a truck with sufficient force to cause the damage apparently visible in the photograph, you have to be going some. I am discounting the fire damage, but it does look as though the front nearside wheel is awry. 90 mph and a family argument? When was the last time a European vehicle burst into flames in a collision? No fuel cut-off? Children shouldn't go this way.

Aug 20th, 2014 - 04:50 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Basically he said that we on here would be celebrating the deaths of these Argentine children.
Like I said, a disturbed mind like that needs sympathy.
?
Aug 20th, 2014 - 05:09 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Best not to respond to him @20 or other posts.
Aug 20th, 2014 - 06:43 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Anyone remember me trying to describe auto accidents in Argentina. It is incredible how bad they are, the cars don't even look like cars after an accident.
Aug 20th, 2014 - 07:46 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I'd never ride in an Rg car they're just too poorly made.
Our sympathy to the pope, and the relatives,
Aug 20th, 2014 - 07:47 pm - Link - Report abuse 0R.I.P. little ones.

Aug 20th, 2014 - 07:58 pm - Link - Report abuse 0ALL ECU fuel injected engines need a fuel cut-off otherwise serious problems can arise in normal use if a fault occurs within the telemetry with the injectors.
Hence the fitting of a mass fuel flow device which should always switch the pump off, especially when the engine is stalled (as it would be in these circumstances).
This car did have an airbag (which deployed) so you would think a fuel cut-off was present but probably failed under G forces due to the violent stop.

Aug 20th, 2014 - 10:13 pm - Link - Report abuse 0“Children shouldn't go this way.”
I think all would agree.
Can you extend this compassion to all the children whose slaughter you advocate in the “total destruction of every latam state and all their people” that you were calling for just last week?
